During her presidential campaign, Elizabeth Warren often emphasizes education as well as equal opportunities for women in the workplace. Warren tells of her own experience as a young public school teacher, let go from a special needs teaching job by a male principal for being "visibly pregnant." This past May, Warren put it this way when discussing her early teaching career:
“I loved it, and I would probably still be doing it today but back in the day, before unions, the principal, by the time we got to the end of the first year, I was visibly pregnant,” she said. “And the principal did what principals did in those days: they wished you luck, showed you the door, and hired someone else for the job. And there went my dream.”
In an interview twelve years ago, however, Warren told a markedly different version of the circumstances around her termination from her teaching job. (A writer for Jacobin Magazine, Meagan Day, first noted the interview on Tuesday on Twitter. Day is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and is a Bernie Sanders supporter.) At UC Berkeley in 2007 as part of a series called "Conversations with History," Warren was asked about her pursuit of a career helping special needs children. Her answer at the time made no mention of losing her job due to her pregnancy. Instead, she spoke of trying to further her education because she lacked some education courses that had required her to rely on an "emergency certificate" to teach that first year. While pursuing those courses, she said she realized, "I don't think this is going to work out for me." She and her husband then decided she would stay at home for the time being. Here is her full answer in context:

Pocahontas, aka Liawatha.

Before unions?
Just how old is this Fauxcohantas?
“I was visibly pregnant...”
Somewhere there’s a man with NO pride
I wonder how the principal feels about being called a male-chauvinist pig?
Maybe he can get a time slot on Tucker Carlson to explain his side of the story?
Liawatha was _amazingly_ persuasive in her ads claiming she had Indian heritage. Check this out if you have not seen it:

This is a sociopath in action.
She lies instinctively, as easily as most of us take a breath of air.
Pocahontas?
That’s Faux-ca-hontas, isn’t it?
another fuex narrative.
In fact she’s Schiff-quoted as saying:
“He told me, ‘Squaw heap big belly. Stay in wigwam with papoose.’”
No man would touch her. She is a real double bagger.
Love how this starts with an appearance w/Al Sharpton. He seems to bring out the best in people.
Based on the topic...shouldn’t that be Poke-ahontas?
Just how far “back in the day” does her “day” go? My dad’s school system was unionized a pretty long time ago, and the system might hire a replacement for a certain period of time before or after a teacher gave birth to a child, but the teacher ALWAYS got that job back if she wanted it.
More lies from Lieawatha? I’m shocked, I tell you. Shocked!
Psychojawea, Heronimo...
Commenting on my own post about Warren smearing the principal.
She knows she’ll get away with it because he’s probabably dead.
If Warren was 23 then, and the principal was 20 years older than her, he’d be 90.
So she felt safe putting words in his mouth and maligning his character. Sad thing is, he gave an unqualified teacher a chance to prove herself. Now he’s the bad guy in Warren’s political storytelling.
“Lieawatha” speak with forked tongue. Snake?
